Increasing unstable internet over the past month

As of the past month my internet connection has been getting worse and worse and usually have trouble connecting during night times but most recently, even day times the internet has been pretty unstable. Not sure if its something going on with the modem or something. One roommate who uses the wireless connection says it is extra bad on it.

Re: Increasing unstable internet over the past month

Your signal levels are marginal due to too many splitters and you're also getting ingress from someones 4G phone maybe a loose or corroded connection... I'd expect to see correcteds on the 705 mHz channel, did you just reset the modem?

In addition to the things MsRaye has already identified, I see that you have your WiFi set to scan for an open channel on the 2.4 GHz band (wi0). We can see in the event log that it generated a channel change to 6 based on incoming interference. You should ALWAYS lock the WiFi radios on a fixed channel in each band. DO NOT try to scan to avoid signals from other user devices. Pick one clean channel (on 2.4 GHz it's usually 1, 6, or 11) and stake your claim.

Unfortunately it was indeed reset due to someone pulling the power off too long while resetting the modem so it turned into a factory reset so decided to take this time to try and figure out whats going on with the internet.
